Thanks to Beth Dargis over at My Simpler Life and Peggy from The Simple Woman for being the inspiration behind My Joyful Journal.
Some joyful thoughts from this week are:
A precious moment…was when Marbles and Snickers were sitting at opposite ends of the couch and Snickers began ‘inching’ her way over to Marbles. One small step towards being best friends.
I am grateful…. for the opportunity to resume EMDR therapy.
I laugh…because my husband thinks he can dance.
I remember…playing with my Barbie doll and treasuring the fact that she had so many clothes. Thanks to my mom. She knitted, crocheted and stitched the most fabulous wardrobe for my Barbie.
I love…that my friend bravely ventures out in raging thunderstorms to rescue Miss Sam. She brings her to her house to enjoy pancakes for dinner or black bean and corn salsa for a rainy afternoon snack until I can safely pick her up.
I will celebrate…because I finally decided on a math curriculum for Miss Sam.

Wonderful post! What math curriculum did you decide on? I absolutely cannot make a final decision for Miss Jewel!
I love the idea of the Joyful Journal. We should all think on things that make us laugh and make us happy.
This is great.:)
How nice of your friend!!
Wonderful post!!!
In my evening readings, I have noticed several blogs having Simple Woman Spin offs. I love it! I have been thinking about doing something similar for my paper journal, to help focus and preserve some memories.
I’m glad that you decided on a Math curriculum. We use the Spectrum workbooks. Each page is just the right amount for my kids to do in 1 day. Too much Math would make mine hate it. It’s great that you have those Barbie doll memories.
I just saw your post about Mister Linky and was coming to your rescue, but obviously you worked it out.
BTW – just out of curiosity, what Math curriculum did you choose?
Love the pic of the dogs. Kind of reminds me of the way that I approach people! Slowly and with caution.
Even amongst the negatives of tangled childhood, there ARE the positives. For you, your mom making your Barbie such a wonderful variety of clothes. For me, the year my parents had very little money and mom spent whatever spare moments she could squeak to herself and she ‘built’ a dollhouse for me out of cardboard boxes. She put in scraps of material for curtains. Filled it with cheap dollhouse furniture. But I was enthralled by it – I was 4 – and I have never, EVER forgotten the love put into it.
